Winter Vacations: Caribbean

The Caribbean has some terrific all-inclusives that cater specifically to families, with well-developed kids programs and many special activities. A few suggestions:

Dominican Republic: Club Med Punta Cana: amazing kids' programs, for many age groups; The Ramp, for teens; trapeze and many activities.

Jamaica: Franklyn D. Resort: "all-inclusive" here includes a friendly "vacation nanny" for each family. Large suites; friendly ambiance.

Beaches Resorts: these popular family all-inclusives frequently sell out. Nurseries; kids programs for many age groups; watersports including daily scuba; Sesame Street characters and themed activities; Single Parent months. Turks & Caicos is a flagship property.

Jamaica: Starfish Resort: this value-priced resort has minigolf, trapeze, rock-climbing, kiddie pool with slide, novelty pools; kids club and nursery.

US Virgin Islands: Maho Bay Camps: something different, at the doorstep of the USVI National Park; white sand beaches, and lodging in comfortable tent-cottages.
